How to play E6/9♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 7th fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 7th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier E6/9♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your middle finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Let the low E and B strings ring open.
